A golf bag includes at least one pouch for containing at least two golf clubs, each club having a shaft of length Lcg, a cross-section having an area of a given value, and a club head secured to one end of the shaft, the pouch being of oblong shape defined along a longitudinal axis and including a bottom and an opening situated at the end of the pouch remote from the bottom, substantially centered on the axis, the opening having a rim of given shape and an area greater than the sum of the two areas of the cross-sections of the two shafts, the depth of the pouch defined along the axis from the opening having a value that is not less than Lcg; a bearing surface; and elements for mounting the bearing surface in the pouch at a distance from the opening that is less than the value Lcg.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a golf bag, i.e. to a bag comprising an oblong pouch having a bottom and an opening remote from the bottom, which bag is suitable for containing golf clubs that may equally well be irons or woods, each club being constituted by a shaft, grip means mounted in co-operation with one end of the shaft, a ferrule secured to the second end of the shaft, and a club head secured to the ferrule.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Golf bags are already known such as those described in US 2004 / 245133, U.S. Pat. No. 6,407,668, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,746,014. Such a prior art bag essentially includes a golf club support comprising a solid part having at least one groove formed in one of its sides for the purpose of receiving a golf club shaft, and a hollow housing formed in another side for receiving the head of the golf club.[0003]Such an embodiment undeniably produces the desired results, however it presents drawbacks, in particular for gol...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The design enhances ergonomics, reduces bulk and weight, improves practicality, and allows for secure and efficient stowage and retrieval of golf clubs, while providing a cost-effective solution.

Problems solved by technology

Such an embodiment undeniably produces the desired results, however it presents drawbacks, in particular for golfers who carry their own golf bags, since it is relatively bulky, massive, and heavy.

In addition, its structure makes the golf bag relatively unattractive and above all not very practical to use on a golf course, whether while the player carrying it is walking, or while stowing clubs.

It also makes the golf bag relatively expensive.
